I
do not want to be beating a horse to death by repeating
what thousands of successful business people from
all kinds of industries have talked about how important
a balanced life is in thousands of books and seminars
but - evidently most people have not comprehend the
message yet.
The theory that one must have a balanced life is nothing
new!
It is nevertheless discouraging how many people -
business people or employees -discard anything, which
has to do with "philosophy" or with basics
or with spirituality!!
Those people keep sneering at any hint of basic philosophy
despite the fact that their lives usually are described
by themselves as somewhat difficult and/or they all
suffer from stress with less rewards as they expected!
They "know it all" - have heard of it all,
and invent some "real mechanical ways" to
improve their life. Yeah, right - they know it all
but life is one big unhappy suffering and victimized
existence!!
Here is the long and short of it:
The mechanics of how to do something are only a small
part of a successful life. If one does not realize
that one must take care of his body well and that
one is NOT the body but an immortal spirit that is
in charge of how well one does in life, one will simply
not live a fulfilled life!!
And let's make no mistake about it - it is YOU who
is the spirit and it is YOU who is in charge!!
Of course you should not take such a statement at
face value from anyone including from me. You should
in fact examine such a statement and only accept it
if it is true for you!! Otherwise, this statement
or any statement about any subject, which is not true
for you, should go out the window!!
But before you throw any such statement out the window
- especially the statement I just made about YOU being
a immortal spirit and YOU being the one who directs
your future, despite any problems which other people
and which situations or governments or groups such
as the FDA, Hippa, etc. etc. impose on you!!
This statement is completely true for me and is true
for just about any one who truly succeeds!
Now let's however define success a bit:
Success is not only to have reached what Harrison
Ford or Bill Gates or George W. Bush has reached.
No, success is reaching what YOU want to reach!!
This could be to help people to be free from cancer
worries because you licked the problem, or to have
all five children happily married and doing what they
want to do. It might mean anything under the 'sun,
moon and the stars' as long as YOU want it. Not what
your parents or the teacher or the stigma of society
wants! People who want to skip the basics of taking
care of their body, for instance, will usually be
too tired, too exhausted and too busy going to the
doctor to actually pursue their goals.
It is, of course, easy to believe that a few pills
will fix all the problems, which will occur after
years or decades of neglecting the body.
Falling for the drug makers, advertising campaigns
that cause you to neglect your body and take their
shortcut is deadly. A shortcut, which puts you on
a never-ending merry-go-around of drug use, makes
the drug companies reach their goal of money and
control of all life on this planet!
The house of drugs however bars you, if ever
so slow from ever reaching your goals!
Despite the despicable act of those drug companies
I have to tell you that it is YOU who let them do
it to yourself. Taking those drugs is not only neglecting
your body but at the same time abusing your body.
It probably started with YOU - you the spirit - for
sake of comfort or for sake of laziness, or for sake
of fear, or for sake of believing the propaganda of
the "many" that you "simply do not
know" and that you must leave the maintenance
of your body up to the "authorities"!
It is probably worse - it probably started with the
fact that somehow, for the same reasons as I just
mentioned above you started giving in to the propaganda
that spirituality is for wimps and third world countries!
Please do not confuse spiritually with being religious,
(two very different things).
Somehow, I see millions of people, in all parts of
this world, running around pretending to appear to
stand for a religion and religious freedom - which
of course has little or nothing to do with spirituality
- but do not want to talk about this topic to anybody
and definitely do not want to take a stand on it!
They say it does not belong in the worker world! It
is something personal!
You bet it is personal - You are a spirit. What would
you say about a doctor in denial of being a doctor?
And do not think that I did not meet doctors who do
just that!!
Let me give you an example:
I know an MD who personally strongly believes in chelation
therapy!
He has administered chelation therapy to his family,
himself as far as I know and swears by it.
Here is the bummer - the denial - he does not promote
it to any of his patients but prescribes cholesterol-lowering
drugs, blood pressure drugs, sends them to surgery
and all the other rather destructive activities.
He believes - no, he knows that chelation therapy
is life saving and a real cure to heart problems but
he does not tell his suffering patients about it!
He and his family receive it as well as some patients
who know about it and demand it!!
Why?
Why does he do that?
He is afraid of what the AMA (American Medical Association)
says about this type of treatment!!
Needless to say that, as I found out about his behavior,
this is why I was appalled!!
After all maybe - probably - he let more people die
by not administering this life saving chelation treatment
than the kid who shot the seven or so people in Washington
D.C.!!
And by the way the amount of people the whole medical
field let die in a similar manner and for similar
reasons all because of fear of standing up against
"powerful popular opinions" is a million
times worse that the World Trade Center bombing (5,000
died at WTC x 1,000,000 or 17x US population)!! Oh
yes!!
Why am I talking about this in connection to people
who say they believe in a higher force such as God
and Spirit but then in the same breath say that this
subject has no place in the business world and actually
has no influence of how well one does in the business
world and should be left alone!!
Aren't they doing the same as this man I described?
Aren't they worried of what the "people"
and the colleges and the "who knows who"
are thinking!! Aren't they worried of rejection for
doing the right thing? Well, at the least spirituality,
immorality is not really to them.
So,
in whichever way you want to embrace life as a whole
- do it!!
Do what is real to you - you know instantaneously
and have known so for long time!!
Maybe - probably - your reality will change a bit
and widen your perspective as you start on the road
without self-denial on any subject
That is OK, just like with your profession, you learned
more every day and your reality changed a bit. It
is not a failure or weakness to change one's mind
in the light of new findings and then after playing
with them awhile you might realize that those new
findings became workable and thus real to you.
You see anyone ignoring the law of gravity too often
and too ignorantly will end up dying by having some
type of "bad accident" For most the law
of gravity is the most senior law on this planet -
and on this planet maybe it is.
As you know some very very primitive countries, which
never had an education in mathematics, physics and
"Newton Laws" but are only shooting arrows
but yet are NOT jumping of cliffs, are actually by
sheer observation (or inner intuition, who cares)
aware of the Laws of Gravity phenomena as described
by Mr. Newton. Aren't they?
Otherwise why would they aim their target higher and
higher with their bow and arrow in accordance to how
far the target is away!!
And don't you think they do a great job of calculating
against the law of gravity as they hit a lion some
400 feet away?
What about the fact that they do not just keep walking
in thin air as they approach a cliff?
Hmm?
They do know without ever having been told or been
given permission to know!!
Should they learn more about this law of gravity then
- they would be building airplanes as we do of course!!
But what about the phenomena of the Spirit?
With this subject we are about at the same stage as
savage tribes with their bow and arrows and if YOU
(you are the only one who can do it for you) - if
YOU start stopping any self-denial on the subject
of spirituality (which has not much to do with religion
as that is a different subject for another news letter)
then you will start to understand the many things
in life which go wrong and maybe more important you
see the many things in life which go right !!
You will be ably to start taking charge of you life
in ways you never dreamed before.
Again, this is not a cry to become religious just
a statement that you are a spirit and have a body
of which you the spirit is in charge of and if you
do not operate as such then you are not using the
source (you) which is the only entity which can handle
your problems. Reaching your goals will have way more
hardship than it should have. Never mind that in almost
all cases you won't even reach it!! If you ignore
the fact that you are a spirit and that you have to
take care of your body so that the body can be used
as a tool to get tasks done so that in turn you achieve
your goals.
It's simple really believe it or not.
